The creation of the Segal Cancer Centre was made possible, in part, by an exceptionally generous endowment from Alvin Segal and the Segal Family. The Centre is located on the 4th, 5th, 7th 8th and 9th floors of the E pavilion and is comprised of two research floors (4th and 5th) which opened their doors in November/December 2005, and three clinical floors (7th, 8th and 9th) which were open to patients in February 2006.

The Segal Cancer Centre is a state-of-the-art facility which provides patients with the most comprehensive approach to care, combining cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, psychosocial support, nutritional support and clinical and fundamental research in cancer.
